Iota Battery Chargers
Iota Battery Chargers
Iota chargers are solid-state, high-efficiency chargers, very similar to the now-out-of-business Todd charger we've offered for years. Iota features include light, compact construction; automatic fan cooling; reverse-polarity protection; easy terminal access; external, replaceable fuses; rugged reliability; and UL-listing. The Iota is a safe constant-voltage charger, so as the battery voltage gradually rises with charging, the charger will gradually reduce amperage flow.
Chargers are available in 12-volt models at 30, 55, 75, and 90 amps; in 24-volt model at 25 and 40 amps; and in a 48-volt model at 10 amps. Standard charger models are safe to use with any battery type, or with any battery pack that is constantly float-charged. Each charger has switchable dual-voltage output with about a 0.6-volt difference. Use low voltage for float charging, or high voltage for the most rapid battery charging. Voltage rance is selected by inserting a phone-type plug; a customer-supplied switch can be easily inserted for manual control, or Iota offers their optional IQ switch, which delivers automatic 3-stage smart charging. We offer three custom high-volt 12-volt models for wet-cell battery charging designed to keep generator run time to a minimum. The hi-volt models only are set at 14.8/15.4-volt. Two-year mfg. warranty. USA.
Note: Both the 12V/75A Standard and the 12V/75A Hi-Volt models require a 20 amp circuit receptacle for AC plug.
